I just want to say that I switched to Will’s Mojo Under Construction over 2 years ago after the original very by Jeremy was taken over by someone else and generating ads in my dashboards. (And I was using Jeremy’s version for years before that), and that I’ve used it on every version of WP since then, right up to now (4.9.1), and it’s still doing exactly what I need.
I actually LIKE the fact that this plugin does not try to be “everything all in one”. It is simple and does not try to dig itself into every other module of your WordPress. It’s a very easy way to place a temporary construction page on a new WP site that is simple enough for your end-user / client to just log in and turn off once they have their site ready.
Is there a fancy GUI where you can point & click to design things? No.
Are there extra bells & whistles like countdown timers and such? No.
Do I need all that extra junk when prepping a site for a client that just needs to be temporarily hidden from public view? No!
Exactly what it should be – a simple Under Construction plugin, easy to implement, easy to remove.
And if you really need to customize your temporary under construction page, all it takes is a little bit of HTML know-how to completely customize the splash page if necessary.
I’ve almost never experienced any issue with this plugin. I did run into a bit of strange behavior when attempting to use it combination with WooCommerce and Age Verification plugins quite a while back, but that was pretty much an isolated incident and I continue to use this plugin with confidence. I’ve installed it on at least 50 sites by now in a variety of settings / plugin combos / themes (even Divi) and it has done right by me. It’s basically like the pliers in my toolbox – used on almost every job.
Thank you Will, for taking over this plugin way back then, so that users like me who set WP up for other clients have a quick reliable “go-to” simple solution without any extra junk to worry about.
I hope that you’ll somehow find the time to keep this plugin always compatible with the latest WP. I know it’s hard for a dev to find time for something like that, but I really appreciate that you stepped up and created the fork when we needed it, and hope that it’s here to stay!
Thank you!
]]>Is it possible for the under construction wall to allow access to a certain section of the site. For example I would like to still allow a rss feed but have everything else behind the under construction page. Thanks in advance!
]]>There is a bug in mojo-construction.class.php on Line 66-68:
if ( ! is_array( $array ) ) {
$array = array();
}should be:
if ( ! is_array( $array ) ) {
$array = array($array);
}Right now having only one IP in Whitelist is not working, because get_option(‘underConstructionIPWhitelist’) returns a string.
]]>Plugin stopped working after I updated my website to wp 4.6. Not sure why.
]]>Mojo Under Constuction should be Mojo Under Construction.
Thanks
]]>Hi Mojo Will, and thank you again for this awesome plugin! Love having the features of the original back without the dashboard spam that happened to the old one ??
I think I’ve discovered a minor bug, just FYI.
On a brand new site, clean WordPress install using an Elegant theme and Woocommerce installed, the password reset link does not work at wp-login.php – if you click the forgot password link it just redirects to a broken version of the construction page (images do not display).
I noticed this when I used the custom HTML option in the construction plugin and the problem does not occur when I disable the Woocommerce plugin.
Is there any chance you might be able to patch this and release a new version of Mojo Under Construction that plays nice with Woocommerce?
Thank you again for the great work / plugins you’ve done so far! I have sent donation to you for the cause ??
]]>I have activated the plug-in with a Status Code to redirect, but now I am not able to connect to the dashboard anymore, not even with /wp-admin. I could disable the plug-in by deleting the mojo folder from the plugins folder, but when I copy the folder back in the plugins folder, the redirect kicks in again and I can’t make any changes in the WP Dashboard. Please advise
]]>Great plugin MojoWill! So glad you stepped up and dev’d this version when the original plugin was taken over by ad-spam.
But I *think maybe* there’s an incompatibility with WP 4.4.1
I just recently created a new WP site with 4.4 and the latest version of your Plugin and there were no problems, but after it auto-updated to 4.4.1 I’m getting a 403 error when trying to log in to the Dashboard now (with Mojo Under Construction enabled).
The WP site itself is displaying my Mojo Under Construction splash page on the public side with no problem, but any attempt to access wp-login.php or wp-admin lands at a 403.
I’ve checked the mod_security logs on the server to see if any rules are being triggered, but none.
Any chance this version of MUC could be incompatible with WP 4.4.1 ?
Many thanks!
]]>When I activate your plugin with Debug On I get: “Notice: register_uninstall_hook was called incorrectly. Only a static class method or function can be used in an uninstall hook. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 3.1.) in /var/www/vhosts/m… on line 3622”
I suppose this is something you have to look at.
Is 1.0.1 Compatible with WordPress 4.3.1?
]]>Thanks for the fork to this plugin. Much appreciated!
As IPv6 becomes more prominent, it would sure be nice that we can input IPv6 addresses into this plugin too!
Thanks!
]]>Does this plugin support shortcodes?
]]>Hy Mojo, thank you for saving this plugin and providing a spam free version.
There is a typo in the title of this page in the WP repo. It says Constuction instread of Construction.
Keep up the good work!
Erik
]]>I was really bummed to see that Jeremy Massel’s original “underConstruction” version of this plugin was taken over by someone who injected Dashboard popup ads into it, so it’s awesome to see that you’ve stepped-up and published this version based on Jeremy’s original without the junk ads. Mojo Under Construction to the rescue! Much appreciated and donation sent!
]]>In the old plugin the “add current address” showed the current IP. That doesn’t seem to work anymore.
Also the “Display the default under construction page, but use custom text” bullet doesn’t reveal the extra fiels anymore.
Can you shed some light on this?
]]>Thanks for forking! I’ll head over to the reviews in a minute.
Can you explain the call on line 52 of mojo-construction.class.php?
wp_enqueue_script( 'scriptaculous' );
Does that still work?
